Run the World {a book review!}
Woohoo! Book review time! I'm not sure if I've actually ever done a full book review here on the blog so I guess today is the day! I had mixed emotions when I received the book "Run the World: My 3,500-Mile Journey Through Running Cultures Around the Globe" by Becky Wade to read and review. First, I was super excited! I've been dying to dig into a good book, and one about running, traveling and an Olympic hopeful? Sounded good to me! I was a bit skeptical too. I've often found in books written by runners that they are either a.) poorly written or b.) a brag-fest, mostly talking about their own accomplishments, race times and awards. I'm happy to announce that Run the World is NEITHER OF THESE THINGS! Yes!
Becky Wade has chronicled her year spent traveling the world, immersing herself in running cultures in countries from Ethiopia to Australia to Finland, and numerous stops in between! I was quickly engrossed in her stories, and anxiously awaited reading about her next stops around the globe. It was the perfect mix of running history, cultural tidbits (and lots about FOOD!), training observations and experimentations and Becky's personal stories. I love running wherever I travel, and she took this concept to a whole new level. I especially loved her insight into recreational and competitive running in each country, and gleaned bits and pieces from everywhere to incorporate into her own running regimen. By the end of the book not only was I inspired as a runner, I felt like I knew Becky Wade, and maybe even for a few minutes forgot that she would kick my booty if we ever went out for a run together!
With the Rio Olympics less than 2 weeks away (yippee!!!) this book was a perfect read to help me pass the time until they begin! I've been waiting pretty much 3.9 years for August 5th to roll around, so getting to know the story behind an athlete as well as about athletic cultures across the world was so timely! I only wish that I could be cheering Becky on in the Olympics but unfortunately, she didn't make the U.S. team this time around. Needless to say, I'll have a new perspective when watching the running events in Rio, and will be on the look-out for athletes from the countries that I now feel so much more connected to! If you love running, traveling or the Olympics, you should totally check out this book. It was just released earlier this month and is available on Amazon!

Brandon Phillips: Nice guy, sensitive guy, strange guy
All-Star second baseman Brandon Phillips' profane tirade at a Reds reporter was his latest example of bizarre behavior with the media.
Brandon Phillips is a strange guy, and I don't necessarily mean that as an insult. He's great to fans, and not just in the superficial way that some athletes are "great" to fans when the cameras are on, but not so great when the cameras are somewhere else. Behind the scenes Phillips does great work with fans around Cincinnati, helping causes that nobody hears about, because that's what he wants to do.
Don't get me wrong here: I'm not attacking Brandon Phillips' character.
But he's a strange guy. He doesn't like the media, and while that in itself doesn't make him strange -- hell, that makes him smart -- it's the way he doesn't like the media, the way he invents reasons to dislike us ...
The latest was his profane explosion Wednesday at a Reds beat writer who dared to tweet out Phillips' on-base percentage. Phillips poked fun at the writer's physique -- which, coming from a professional athlete, is a tiny thing to do.
Phillips has taken issue with me twice over the years, and I've been in the Reds' clubhouse only eight or 10 times. And both times it was ... strange.
Look, athletes take issue with me all the time. And most of the time, I deserve it. I had a (bad) radio show in Cincinnati, and I was honest brutal in my assessment of Adam Dunn and Ken Griffey, and those guys didn't like me. When I was in the clubhouse they threw bottles of water at walls near where I stood. Dunn once put a ball in a sock and swung it menacingly near me and asked why, on the radio that week, I had compared his outfield play to a dog chasing a Frisbee.
Dunn and Griffey didn't like me? I get it.
Phillips didn't like me for two misunderstandings in 2007 that were completely his own making. The first time, after he had made a great play the night before -- he knocked down a hard grounder, picked it up between his legs and shoveled it to second for the force out -- I asked him if he had played basketball in high school. I said that looked like a basketball move. I was being complimentary. This is how the conversation went:
Phillips: Sure, I played basketball.
Me: Were you any good?
Phillips: I could dunk on you.
A few months later, during a bad season for the Reds, I wanted to talk to Phillips about the All-Star Game. I mentioned that he was having a great season, but the Reds' record might leave them as one of the teams that gets just one All-Star, and was he nervous about that?
Not a positive topic, no, but I wasn't being mean about it. It was an honest issue, and I asked him an honest question. And he gave me a decent answer, as I recall. But the interesting thing happened a few hours later, in the press box. One of the Reds public relations people asked me why I'd said what I said to Phillips.
Me: What did I say?
PR guy: He said you told him, "You're not going to make the All-Star team because the Reds suck."
So anyway, he's a strange guy. His latest explosion at a reporter was another example, but the media can take care of itself. Meantime, Phillips does wonderful things for the fans. I started this story that way, and I'll end it that way.

Bux sites are probably the very first thing that comes into your thoughts relating to earning on-line. And, only 20% of staff use the LMS for any non-compliance studying at all." This cause for these unhappy statistics is simple: LMSs aren't straightforward to operate. Virtual classroom content is targeted towards the precise audience, ensuring maximised studying outcomes.

White Bikini Bottoms
White bikini bottoms, like other skimpy beachwear of this color, are eye-catching and awe-inspiring. This is, of course, if they are on great well-tanned bodies. Bottoms in this color can be so sexy and revealing. The whiteness also tends to catch more attention. This clean color is simple and fun. It does not distract from the wearer's great features. In fact, it can highlight your good physical features.
Anyone can wear beachwear in this hue. The harder part is to look good in these kinds of bathing suits. This, unfortunately, takes some time. You will need to consistently exercise and practice a clean lifestyle. Exercising gives you a great body. Add to that, you also become healthier and stronger. Make sure to have the big three when you exercise. Those are cardiovascular exercises, weight training exercises, and stretching. A complete workout gives you a strong and lean body. Mix in a good diet, enough sleep and clean living here and you get a body that many white bottoms will want to be worn on.
Of course, these beach apparel have a downside too. These bottoms, because of their color, are more prone to staining. This is due to many things: from the ice cream or Mai Tai you just had to your suntan lotion. Its culprit could even be the lining of the swimsuit.
Here are some tips to caring for your bathing suits that come in white:
1. Check before you buy. It is always best to examine the fabric and read the label first before any purchase. Make sure that the item passed quality standards in your country.
2. Wash your garment first before wearing them. And then, make sure to wash them after each use. When you machine wash, make sure to keep the whites together. Use the Gentle cycle for your swimwear. Do not use the dryer for them. Hang them dry instead.
3. Opt for water-based suntan lotion, instead of oil-based ones. Oil can react to heat and end up staining your prized beachwear. Likewise, make sure to wash your hands after you handle suntan lotions. Apply the lotion first before wearing your swimsuits. It is ideal to wear your swimwear only after the lotion application dries.
4. Do not use bleach on your swimwear. Many labels will also warn you against this. Bleach may harm items made of nylon or spandex, the common fabrics for bikinis.
5. In case of a staining accident, do not fret. Just soak your beach clothing items on a tub full of water and a tablespoon of stain remover. After an hour of soaking, the stain should be gone. Hang dry.

I am grump-diddly-grumpy this morning. Ole Boy got up around 5 a.m. and turned the TV on so loud the deaf next door neighbor could hear it. My clothes somehow got wadded up (would that be because I didn't hang them up?) and I stuck my liquid eyeshadow wand into my eye while putting on my face, and my left eye keeps crying, even over an hour later. It's rainy and dreary outside, and I am in no mood to actually get any work done today. So, I'm doing an entry. I do, however, have one of the best jobs ever! Be jealous.
Here's an important Notice:
Title: Microsoft Security Bulletin Major Revisions
Issued: March 9, 2010
Recognize and avoid fraudulent e-mail to Microsoft customers:
If you receive an e-mail message that claims to be distributing a Microsoft security update, it is a hoax that may contain malware or pointers to malicious Web sites. Microsoft does not distribute security updates via e-mail.
Thankfully, I haven't had to deal with one of these emails this morning to add to my grumpiness.
My daughter is going to have a baby. A little girl. She is planning to name her little one Gianna Claire...name could change fifty times before she gets here...due around the end of May. This is her fourth baby. A surprise. Oh, wait. They were all surprises. Very loveable little surprises, I might add. To know a little about them and their miracle stories, read about my angels here.
My eyes are bothering me. Both of them. Why is it that you poke one of them, they both feel irritated?
I'm going to Florida in April. Leaving Ole Boy behind to care for the Pepster and the house...and he wasn't invited....heheh. I am going with my two lovely sisters, and I imagine we will have a wonderful time! Well, I'll have a better time than them, I expect, because they are both nurses and are attending classes while they are there. Me? I'm just bumming around, me and my trusty camera on a very pretty resort. I wonder if I'll get bored? If so, I'll probably make more than the periodic entry describing the poor, pitiful me in Orlando on a resort with nothing on my agenda but "me' time. Again, be jealous. I also have a paid week off coming up...and it doesn't count against my vacation time. I am blessed beyond measure. Seriously.
I have a huge stack of paperwork on my desk. In my way. I suppose I'd better...do...something....about...it...

Located along the banks of the Smoky Hill River in Ellsworth County, Kansas the Faris Caves are manmade caves carved into the sandstone rock by an early settler in the area named Charles Griffee. Mr. Griffee came to the area in 1884 and purchased some land just east of what had been Fort Harker, Kansas (modern day Kanopolis, Kansas) from a Mr. Atwood. Having been a miner in Colorado and with a shortage of trees in the open prairie at that time,
Mr. Griffee carved out three small rooms in the Dakota Sandstone bluffs to serve as his living quarters rather than digging a more typical dugout which was a common form of dwelling at that time period. The middle and right rooms were connected together by a door way essentially giving Mr. Griffee a two room house. The third room was used as a spring house to keep things cold and a natural spring in that room allowed things to stay fresh in the cool water. Each of these "caves" are about 12 feet square with 10 foot high arched ceilings. The coolness of the caves and the fresh spring water nearby would have given Mr. Griffee a suitable shelter during the cold winters and hot summers on the Kansas prairie.
In 1893 Charles Griffee sold his land and caves to Winfield and William Faris. The Faris families were early settlers in the area with two other brothers, Henry and Irwin having already established a hunting ranch in the Clear Creek Crossing area of the Smoky Hill Trail. After purchasing the land the Faris' built a wood framed house close to the caves but continued to use the caves as a spring house, generator room and for a short time as a schoolhouse.
This area of the Smoky Hill River Valley has a history that dates long before Kansas became a state. Between 700 to 1500 years ago this part of Kansas would have been dotted by the earth lodges of Native Americans and the sandstone rock around Faris Caves and Kanopolis Reservoir is known for the rock drawings left behind as a reminder of these earlier civilizations.
You can get to Faris Caves today by following some gravel and dirt roads. The area is located in part of the Kanopolis Wildlife Area. Directions are available from someone local or you can easily use GPS to guide you to the caves. They are an interesting place to visit and a worthy side trip when traveling through the area.

I was never good at sports or interested in them, but what my dad and the coaches taught me and the other kids about sportsmanship (or sporting culture if you'd prefer a gender-neutral term) stuck with me. I understood why I shouldn't be a sore loser. More importantly, I understood why I should be a gracious winner.
Rather than practice good sporting on the playing field, I've tried to apply it to card games, board games, and video games. I suspect I'm part of a minority here; I've seen far too many forum posts where other gamers brag about "one-shotting" opponents (defeating an opponent in a combat-oriented game with one blow) or "pwning" them. I've also seen thousands of posts from "salty" gamers who seem to think that losing a match in a video game is the height of adversity when it's nothing but a First World problem.
Before you get salty with me (not that you could burden me with your salt since I don't provide a comment form), I don't like losing any more than you do. And I don't exactly play Mickey Mouse games.
I play games like Dark Souls III, but even though the games I play are about fighting other players with swords and other weapons (rather than sports sims), I still think it's important to be a good sport whether I chose to participate in player vs. player (PVP) gameplay or get forced into PVP because another player invaded my game.
Even though I said I don't like losing any more than you do, I'd rather suffer a narrow defeat than win an effortless victory. When the outcome of a match remains in doubt until the very end, it means I'm playing against an equal. There's no challenge in dominating an opponent, and being dominated isn't much fun either.
But whether I'm playing against an opponent as strong as me or not, I try to treat them with respect. Here's what I do.
If I've brought my A game and the other player just manages to beat me, I'll congratulate them on a good fight. I'll still congratulate a player who manages to kick my ass, but if they do it several times despite my efforts I'll probably also ask them for advice on how to get better. :)
If I win, but the other players put up a good fight, I thank them for their effort. If I completely dominate the other player, I'll reach out to them and offer to help them get better instead of rubbing their noses in their loss the way some players do.
I've heard and read stories of players who dropped out of gaming altogether because the online multiplayer experience was so toxic, and I don't want to be part of the problem. I'd rather be part of the solution.
I think online gaming would be a better experience for everybody if more gamers cared more about being good sports and having fun than they did about winning. I also think sports would be a better experience for more kids if the emphasis was on being good sports than on winning, too.
What do you think? Is online gaming toxic because a winning-is-everything approach to competition has driven out most notions of sportsmanship? Or is there more to it?

I would like to make a bard class, If you could drop by my mud and post ideas that i should consider for that class. And skills/spells ideas.Then i would apreciate it.aoh.genesismuds.com port 6969
Hi! I would like to roleplay a viable bard/paladin multiclass character. Where might I be able to do that?
Quote from: Aarcerak on May 05, 2017, 12:21 PMI would like to make a bard class, If you could drop by my mud and post ideas that i should consider for that class. And skills/spells ideas.Then i would apreciate it.aoh.genesismuds.com port 6969Just for the record, CoffeeMUD's system has classes and subclasses. You can multi-class within subclasses, but not across classes. So for example, Paladin base class is Fighter, as is Ranger, so you could mutli-class Ranger and Paladin (In theory, if the racial and alignment requirements were also met). However, Bard is its own base class, with subclasses such as dancer, minstrel, jester etc. Thus you could not multi-class Paladin/Bard there. =/
Fair enough, if you're speaking of the official version. The CoffeeMUD engine allows for different multi class setups, or no multiclassing at all. For the sake of the OP's question though, yeah, thanks for the clarification. Might be worth checking some of the other CoffeeMUDs that are running or being worked on, as it's a very simple thing in the CoffeeMUD settings to allow multiclassing with any combination of classes.In addition, I'd like to mention LuminariMUD again. It was selected for /r/MUD's MUD of the Month for January, and it's hopping right now with 15-20 people online at any given time. It's a d20/Pathfinder codebase derived from tbaMUD and d20MUD, and it's quite a lot of fun. Paladin/Bard is definitely doable. Not sure it'd be the most powerful combo, but they both use Charisma, so it might work out, and it's definitely legit for RP purposes. Anyways, check out LuminariMUD at luminarimud.com port 4100.

Love Chloe
I am the luckiest Fashionista in the whole wide world. All the Chloe items pictured currently reside in my closet. Stella McCartney redefined what the label was about and was succeeded as creative director by her then assistant Phoebe Philo. Both of these designers are the more influential than any other when it comes to dressing a savvy woman like me! I like my clothes witty, pretty and with just the right amount of urban edge. That's why I love Chloe.

(Some top searches I pulled.)
Who to add…
People you actually know or met. There's no problem adding 'fans' or 'strangers' if you know they aren't some psychopath, criminal, or pervert — and you actually talked to them somewhere.
Try not to add…
Colleagues, professors, bosses, or co-workers. It is weird for them, and it is weird for you. If you do, do both of you a favor and don't complain about work, life, or relationships. You have to be 'professional'.
Avoid comments turning into a…
Private message or forum. Then everyone gets to know your business, thoughts, and feelings. That's not something you want…
Status overload…
Selfies, rants, videos, or articles. Although some people like it, not everyone is going to. And yeah, yeah… there's that whole 'I don't care if they like it or not' — and right you shouldn't!
…You're entitled to your thoughts, feelings, and what you put out there. You don't need to constantly share it with people who may be shallow or just not care.
Whoever you want.
Whatever you want. But if you're posting twenty tweets every hour maybe you need to rethink…
Don't post…
Whatever you want. You know you're reaching more people then Facebook, right? If you start hate talking people, spreading conspiracies, and terror — the government will find you.
Telling people to follow you…
They will follow you. It's okay, it's fine for business — a lot of people have done it. However, there's people that become OBSESSED with how many followers they get. It becomes a drug. It can turn a good person into a narcissistic, just like Facebook.
Facebook and Twitter…
This is just words from a persons experience. Everyone is different.
…How obsessed are you with getting likes, comments, tweets, and re-tweets?
What. Why.
Who cares? You shouldn't care.
They don't really care.
You know who cares…
I don't know my own password.
It is the same for half my accounts, I still don't get it.
I don't know the answers to my security questions.
I don't know what city I was born in because I wrote, "daklhdfkdlsjfds," in the box.
I get my email address wrong.
I have way too many. It shouldn't surprise me they won't accept email@example.com
I post photos I don't like.
Then delete them within five minutes or the next day. It looks stupid… what was I thinking?
I post status' I don't like.
Then delete them within a couple hours or the next day. It sounds stupid and I look stupid for saying it… I knew it but posted it anyways.
I watch the same video.
Over, over, over, and over again like I got some sick obsession with it or OCD. But it's fun….
I deactivate my account to reactive it.
I don't know, I got annoyed… but hey at least I can claim to be gone for a month so I look less insane.
I write a blog post and delete it.
It was stupid… or I did it by accident when I was trying to edit it. How do I manage that… need some psychologist/computer expert to explain.
Stuff I look up on Google…
What are the signs of a psychopath?… Why is my boyfriend not talking?… Why does having my nose pierced mean?… Who is stalking me on the internet?… What are the signs of a Bi-Polar?… What are signs he is cheating on you?… How many parts are in a paint? … Is my boyfriend a psychopath?… What is a sociopath? … How to tell if your boyfriend is a sociopath?
It's been days
I can't help but wonder…
What has changed?
What have I missed?
Same people posting selfies.
Same people crying and complaining.
Same people posting quotes and preaching.
Ah, I remember…
These people aren't my 'friends' or 'family'
My friends would have texted me when I was gone
My family I have been with most of this time
Not on social media
Oh and my 'mate'
I been with the past three days, came home today.
(Surprise, just because I'm posting things… doesn't mean I don't have a life.)
Did I tell the world? No.
Did he? No.
…Now back to the drawing board…
The Real Drawing Board…
It's been two days.
I feel like a parasite has been removed from my brain.
I can think and feel. Oh my god. I'm not a robot, I'm a human being.
I'm redirecting my focus on other things.
So Facebook = Faceless much better.
Not pretending to be what I'm not for strangers.
Not hiding who I am for strangers.
I know who my real friends are.
I am happier in the real world.
You should be too.
You taught us from a young age to shut up.
If we say something we sound dumb or look insane.
… Get mocked and publicly shamed for it.
You taught us we do not matter.
Why defend our case, why tell you what is really going in our lives?
Even if you sound like you care, you probably don't.
… You have your own lives, why do you care about ours? You don't.
It's best to be invisible.
To avoid all the nonsense and bullshit that comes with speaking.
People pretending to care, people using you, and misunderstanding.
… It's best they think what they want, they're ignorant anyways.
We are all useless.
There's people better than us everywhere.
We do not matter.
Just another human being. But hey, we have freedom of speech if we dare pretend our voices matter and we are important.
Though heaven forbids us…
If we do, if we say
We think we are entitled
We are no better than all the other nut jobs in the world.
We all are
full of shit
Why pretend?
Why fucking care?
Keep to ourselves.
Do our own thing.
Mute everyone else out.
… They do the same thing to us
If you're not on my side
I will burn you in the future
Society taught me too
If you're fake or try to use me
I can see right through you
Can't say I never warned you
It's an ugly game
I won't help you
You're on your own
You are also worthless
…How does it feel now? To be invisible
I don't give a flying fuck about you.
The place you will be able to reinvent yourself, meet new friends, and develop a career path.
Reinvent yourself. No one knows who you are. Hell, you don't even know who you are. You can pretty much say and do what you want until you start getting bored or seeing peoples true colors…
Meet new friends. More like pets you go places/do things with. Some people you stay in touch with after, some you don't. Or you simply just do not care about making friends in the first place, and spend all your free time doing schoolwork, by schoolwork — procrastinating on the internet or doing god knows what.
Develop a career path. Go to school to learn a trade. It doesn't necessarily mean you're good at it or will come out to anything. And it's not just you, it's all the other factors that come into play. But, it will give you some little extra money if you end up working at McDonalds the rest of your life.
Nobody tells you…
The amount of ridiculous people they meet. By ridiculous, I'm talking about how they act in real life AND on the internet. I can honestly, name only a few of my Facebook friends that are 'normal'. By normal I mean, they are not narcissists. Majority of them act like they 'like' you in real life, or they ignore you online and in real life until you post some small accomplishment you did. It's like — okay you did something cool, if you become famous or well off remember me after you leave. I think not… bitch. Needless to say, I also heard many people talk about other people behind their back like it's high school.
Think college is awesome? It can be. Just remember, it's more people in a madhouse acting like teenagers. And it's not just the students, it's also the professors. Even the professors gossip and talk about other professors and students.
To go nuts: (if you're not a celebrity)
You know few — if any of your followers in real life. You can rant all you want. But if you're an asshole, you should probably keep your mouth shut…
Indulge in your social media habit: (without family/friends/acquaintances looking over your shoulder)
Share things with people you actually know/knew:
Be less clustered with ideas:
'Unfollowing' from news-feed makes it easy.
BOTH websites are great: they allow you to share things that no one really cares about.
Which one is better?
Your preference — I mean, poison.
You want to talk about feelings, relationships, and problems in the world — unfollow. I don't know you. I'm aware. Leave me alone.
Don't know you. You like my nonsense — cool. Whatever.
It's just a fucking picture.
Other social media websites.
Really don't give a shit.
Unless I'm required to be somewhere, I don't have to be.
Line at Dunkin' Donuts is too long? Go to the one down the street.
Not talking.
I don't have anything to say. Be thankful I'm quiet. If I talked, it probably wouldn't be nice — or too eccentric.
Your opinion.
Been there, done that. Fuck off.
The first thing you can do is… Not post that on Facebook. It's public, everyone can see it. You don't know what he/she will think when they see it.
Second… Well, I thought this was obvious — just be yourself. If they don't
like it, move on. Life is too short. There's way too many fish in the sea.
Third… If you "think" you are "in love" how could you be in love? You feel love. You can't love with your mind — unless you're in love with his/her image.
Lastly… Are you looking for love? Do you have a deep desire to love/be loved right now? If you do, the chances are this is — all in your mind. Love happens when you least expect it — when you aren't looking for anything.

#1: Our $49.99 Value is Unbeatable
Lets just jump into your biggest hesitation right now of joining - it isn't free. We are not here to claim we are the best handicappers in the world, in fact, never trust any handicapper that says "we never lose". Instead what we want to show is that for less than a dollar a day not only will you receive daily picks, but you'll join a community of dedicated bettors who love sports, and a desire to make money.
After joining Bet With Confidence, you'll understand what you have been missing out on in the world of sports investing.
Many bettors will waste a boatload of money on a week or a month subscription, when the results depend solely on their timing and some luck. Not to mention, the amount that they have to bet simply just to break even and offset the cost of the service is sometimes ridiculous. It becomes impossible to be a long term client of those type of services, and very seldom will anyone follow someone long enough to see the long term consistency, which is simply the most important factor in this business.
With our affordable membership of $49.99, there is true value. Not only for our consistency, but the ability to be a Bet With Confidence member for a long period of time, not having to worry about the high membership cost, and being able to gain a substantial profit above your membership fee.
Not that we have to justify such a low subscription cost, but we will break it down for you anyways:
When we display our records per sport and our units won, we do not factor in the $49.99 a month cost of the service itself. To rectify this issue we wanted to determine the break-even points for bettors — i.e. how much money should be bet on each game to justify a subscription? The results are reflected in the table below.
If we look solely at our performance during the 2014-2015 Football and Basketball seasons which took place September 2014 - April 2015 (9 months), we won +92.84 units.
+92.84 September 2014 - April 2015
(9 months)
$269.91 9 Month BWC Cost
$2.90 Bet Size To Break Even
If you are paying $49.99 per month for our monthly subscription, you would have only needed to bet $1.94 on selection to break even. Anything above that, is pure profit.
If you were a $20.00 bettor, and followed our picks for football and basketball last season, you would have gained $1,856 - $270 = $1,576 for a Return on Investment of 483.7%. Try and get that return in the stock market.
This fits our goal of allowing novice bettors to use our picks and information and still turn a profit.

Has it hit you yet? Are the pencils sharpened? Is your minivan ready? You've got this; it's the First Day of School.
There is always excitement and nerves the night before, whether you're headed to kindergarten or college. The supply list has been shopped, shoes are sitting in anticipation next to the door, but there's one thing looming: lunch.
Packing a lunchbox can be an uninspiring experience if you don't have access to a microwave or toaster oven. Cold lunches don't have to limit your opportunities to be creative when there's so many options to keep it fresh and delicious. With a bountiful box of goodies from local Texas producers, your lunchbox can be teeming with clean, locally sourced foods that inspire and feed the brain. Read on for tips on how to build a better lunchbox!
Win the Week with a Perfectly Packed Meal
Go For Bento
With perfectly portioned sections, Bento-style lunchboxes provide an easy guide for a balanced lunch. The Japanese-style box would traditionally be filled with items like rice, proteins, and pickled vegetables, but with these boxes popping up in stores across America, anybody can eat bento! Use the larger section to focus on lean proteins and the smaller sections for fruits, vegetables, dairy, or even a sweet treat.
Chop Your Bushel
Disregarding any scientific proof, we think it's pretty much proven that if fruits and veggies are pre-chopped, we are more likely to eat them. At the beginning of your week, or maybe when your bushel arrives, take an hour or two to wash and chop some of the lunch-friendly veggies like cucumbers and carrots. Plus, check out this cool way on how to cut and apple for a lunchbox, but prevent it from browning! In the same idea, individual cheese sticks are a simple way to get more dairy in your diet at lunchtime. We like Full Quiver Farms Raw Colby Cheese Sticks, pre-cut (not mechanically manufactured) for simple portion control.
Ultimate PB&J
We just can't lie, a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich is the stuff of dreams. Get this: the most hyper local sandwich you could ever imagine– awesomeness to a whole other level. We are talking Home Plate Creamy Peanut Butter, Confituras Texas Peach Preserves, and GFY Gluten Free Sandwich Bread; the ultimate Texas-sourced PB&J. "For me, the perfect PB&J includes a nice thick layer of natural style peanut butter, my current favorite jam crush (which changes all the time, but anything peachy is perfect for summer!), and a generous sprinkle of sea salt, served open-face on whole grain toasted bread," said Stephanie McClenny, local jam expert and owner of Confituras.
A Few Snacks & Treats
Some packaged foods are a great idea for those fast-paced mornings, as long as they don't take up a majority of your lunchbox. A good, clean ingredient list is a must when it comes to pantry goods like bars or mixes. We are into Zax Snax Monkey Mix or Thunderkid Bars (New!). When you work your brain all morning, sometimes it's hard to take the afternoon in stride. This is why you deserve a treat every so often, like a small sweet or Mill-King Chocolate Milk. Chocolate milk satisfies the cravings, but won't weigh you down. Sweets that pack a punch of protein is only a double benefit!
What's in your lunchbox? We'd love to see your photos on Instagram! Tag us @farmhousedelivery to engage with our team.

Employee's Motivation in Rural Local Governments in Tanzania: Empirical Evidence from Morogoro District Council
Human resources apart from other resources in an organization are the most valuable resource for effective organizational performance. Organization either public or private is highly depends on employee's performance and commitment towards achieving organizational goals. Employee's commitment is associated with employee's motivation at workplace and depends highly on how management treats employees. The purpose of this paper was to analyze employee's motivation in rural Local Government Authorities (LGAs) in Tanzania. The case study design was employed in which Morogoro District Council (MDC) was randomly selected as a study case. The sample size of the study was 55 employees from management, middle and lower levels. The methods of data collection used includes, Interview and self-administered questionnaires and observations. Data collected was analyzed through Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS). The study revealed that employees in local governments are not motivated in both financial and non financial aspects. Employees are dissatisfied with low salaries, lack of promotion and career development, poor training program, working environment, poor communication, unfair treatments and political interferences. The study recommends for the central government to improve salaries to employees, ensure fair promotion based on merits, invest in employee training and development, secure low rates loans, improve communication and relations between management and employees as well as to minimize political interference to local government employees by elected officials.

Episode 14: THS Engineering Team Student Showcase
In April 2018, four Triad High School seniors traveled with Career and Technical Education teacher Andy Brendel to Washington D.C. to compete in the SourceAmerica Design Challenge. They built a product that helps a local worker with a disability perform her job with more ease and accuracy. After designing and building their product and producing an entry video, their team was chosen as one of five finalists to present their ideas and results to a panel of professional engineers and industry leaders. They brought home second place and experiences to last a lifetime. In Episode 14, Adam sits down with the four team members to talk about this project.
Episode 13: College Admissions
In Episode 13, district technology coach, Adam Geisen, talks to THS guidance counselors Katie Brendel and Heidi Houchins about the "how-to's" of college admissions. Planning for college is not an easy task. Students should prep for college throughout high school, but for rising seniors the timeline seems to go very fast. Applying to college can be stressful, but proper planning can help alleviate some of the pressure on students and their families.
Episode 12: KinderPrep
Is your child ready for kindergarten? It is often a child's first experience in an academic setting and sometimes parents wonder whether their children are ready for both the academics and the social interactions in a kindergarten classroom. In Episode 12, Amy Van Hoose and Abby Bradshaw share some ideas about areas parents can work on this summer to help prepare kids for kindergarten.
Episode 11: Preparing For The PSAT & SAT
Many students begin the college prep process early by taking the PSAT as a freshman and sophomore and then taking the SAT and maybe ACT as a junior. As a parent, many questions may come to mind when you start to look at the test like:
- What is the PSAT?
- Do colleges prefer scores from the SAT or ACT?
- Is one test easier than the other?
- Should my child take both tests?
In Episode 11, Amy Van Hoose, Katie Brendel, and Heidi Houchins discuss the difference between the two tests and help parents and students understand how colleges use the tests.

We graded why smoking is good for you essay from A to E. It would have taken a deliberate lie to say otherwise.
My stock gradually rose during high school. So I've seen a good part of the popularity landscape. The key to this mystery is to rephrase the question slightly. In the schools I went to, being smart just didn't matter much. I wanted to be popular. But in fact I didn't, not enough. I wouldn't have taken it.
To them the thought of average intelligence is unbearable. But most kids would take that deal. And that, I think, is the root of the problem. American school kids work at popularity. I don't mean to suggest they do this consciously.
For example, teenage kids pay a great deal of attention to clothes. They don't consciously dress to be popular. They dress to look good. But "enough" depends on where you are. Few smart kids can spare the attention that popularity requires.
American kids, I read this book in school. This was too subtle for me. I didn't get the additional message. How could things be any other way? Adults don't normally persecute nerds. States are the group most hostile to blacks.

Yorkley is a village in west Gloucestershire, England. The village includes the settlement of Yorkley Slade to the east. Yorkley is situated between the villages of Pillowell and Oldcroft.
Near the town of Lydney, it has two pubs, a sub post office, few shops, a primary school and is home to Yorkley AFC.
Yorkley was also home to Yorkley Star Cricket Club for 130 years until it was forced to close in October 2015 due to repeated digging of the Cut and Fry Green pitch by feral boar.[1]
Cottages are recorded in both Yorkley and Yorkley Slade (formerly the Slade) in the 1780s.[2] The Nag's Head Inn, at Yorkley Slade, is recorded from 1788 and was enlarged around 1850.[2] In the mid 19th century much rebuilding and new building took place at Yorkley, some of it by employees at the Parkend Ironworks.[2] The inn now known as the Bailey Inn, dates from around 1910 when it was known as the Royal Oak. From 1930 a large estate of council houses was formed on the north side of Yorkley Slade.[2]
Yorkley had a working men's institute in 1892.[3] A new institute was built on Bailey Hill around 1910 and a recreation ground was laid out next to it in the early 1920s as the district's war memorial.[3] Yorkley Onward band started in 1903 as an offshoot of the Pillowell band and its hall, built in 1913, has been used for village activities.[3]
Mining was once a major source of employment in the area, and there was an opencast coal mine at Yorkley as recently as 1960.[4]
Yorkley is a lovely little village surrounded by the arts of nature.

After her husband, Richard, 94, a WWII veteran, died on Monday from a brutal home invasion on July 24, Mauirine Iverson, 85, came forward to plead with the public for information on finding his killers.
Speaking to KCRA, Mauirine stated, "To the guilty party, or parties: Know that you have snuffed out a life and I wonder how this came to be a part of your life. We were married 60 years, it would have been 61 years coming the day after Christmas."
After the invasion, while Richard lay in a coma in the hospital with all the bones in his face broken, Mauirine told CBS Sacramento that Richard had exited their home to turn off the lights before bed when she heard him cry out.
Mauirine told KCRA, "I'm very sure that it was a woman who came into my living room. I was sitting watching television, baseball game, around ten o'clock at night and she literally bounced into the room." Mauirine had said in July that she went to look for her husband, adding, "I found him in the breezeway in a puddle of blood, and I mean a puddle of blood." She told KCRA, "He lost so much blood, but he was able, with my help, to get into the kitchen."
She concluded her public comments to KCRA by saying of her husband's killers, "Right now, I am very unhappy with them, but I am trying to be forgiving."
To make matters even harsher for Mauirine, on Monday, the day Richard died, her home was broken into again, according to Fox40.

One evening, while Tetuna was swimming through his ocean, he
chanced to look up and spy the beautiful Hina, sitting upon her
silver seashell throne in the sky. His black heart was so
filled with with lust for the maiden, he swore he must have her
for his very own. That very night, as the beautiful Hina's
silver seashell throne was dipping into the western waters after
her long journey through the night, her attention was distracted
as she waved to her brother who was rising on his golden throne
in the east. Tetuna saw his opportunity, dread lord TeTuna, he
of the black heart and awful countenence, saw his chance and all
at once, stole the beautiful Hina off her silver seashell
throne !!
He took the beautiful Hina down deep into his ocean, down deep
into his lair in the sea. there he kept her prisoner until she
would swear her love to him, Tetuna, Dread lord of the sea.
Lovely Hina wept, her tears lost in the deep salty sea.
The people were horrified!! How could they swim in the ocean
without Hina sitting upon her silver seashell throne? How could
they dance and make love without the light of the moon to guide
their way through the villages? The people wept and wailed.
The great hero, Maui, heard their cries. Maui was big, Maui was
strong, Maui could free Hina from the lair of the dread lord
TeTuna. Strong Maui, brave Maui called down to TeTuna and
issued his challenge for the freedom of the lady of the moon,
TeTuna reared his great ugly self out of his ocean. He walked
his great ugly self up upon the beach. He stood his great ugly
self squarely in front of Maui and laughed.
And Tetuna said to Maui, " You pitiful creature, daring to
challenge the great Tetuna, dread lord of the sea. When I raise
my mighty crooked hand to you, you will be too scared to face me
and will run away."
But Maui was not afraid. He said to Tetuna, " HA HA! You call
that a fist? My hand is strong and straight and when I raise my
hand to you, it will be YOU who will be scared and run away."
Then Tetuna pulled aside his lava-lava, and said to Maui," you
tiny man, when i raise my mighty crooked member to you, you will
be so scared you will piss all over yourself and run away."
But Maui was still not afraid. he pulled aside his lava-lava
and said to Tetuna, " I may be tiny, but my member is not, when
I raise my mighty straight member to you, it will be YOU who
will piss all over yourself and run away"
Tetuna was getting angry now. he made himself as large as he
could, blocking out the sun from the sky. Maui, on the other
hand, made himself as small as he could, and tried to dart
quicky through Tetuna's enormous ugly legs.
TeTuna had Maui now, the ugly Tetuna picked up the tiny Maui and
popped him in his mouth and swallowed him!! Oh the people
lamented, their cause was lost, they would have no moon, and no
light to dance and make love by.
Suddenly Tetuna's stomach started rumbling. It rumbled and
rumbled as loud as the thunder in a storm. The rumbling got
louder and louder. TeTuna's belly got larger and larger.
Maui was growing larger! he was growing larger and larger. He
became so large, TeTuna couldnt spit him out! Then Maui became
so large that TeTuna burst open. TeTuna, the dark lord of the
ocean, burst into a thousand pieces. Maui had defeated TeTuna,
ugly Tetuna, and saved the goddess of the moon, Hina. Maui
placed Hina on her silver seashell throne, and the people danced
and made lover under the skys all night. The thousand pieces of
Tetuna became the fishes of the sea, and by the light of the
moon, the people swim and fish in the great ocean.

GREENWICH, Conn. — Greenwich High School science teacher Sarah Goldin has been selected as a semifinalist in the 2017 Connecticut Teacher of the Year program.
"We are very fortunate to have an inspirational role model such as Dr. Goldin guiding our students as both a scientist and a teacher," Superintendent of Schools Sal Corda said. "We wish Sarah all the best as moves forward in the State's Teacher of the Year program."
Before becoming a teacher in 2009, Goldin spent 11 years in primary science, culminating in a doctoral degree in genetics and development from Columbia University, including seven years working as a full-time laboratory research scientist. She published eight articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals. She also worked for four years as a Scientific Advisor and Patent Agent for an intellectual property firm.
In 2009, Goldin joined the staff at Greenwich High, teaching biology and honors biology and working as co-creator of the high school's honors biochemistry course. To prepare for the development of this new course, Goldin independently obtained her teaching certificate in chemistry.
She was also instrumental in launching the AVID program at Greenwich High School in 2010, and in developing the Innovation Lab, which launched in 2015. For the Innovation Lab, she wrote and obtained two grants from the Greenwich Alliance for Education.
Innovation Lab is an interdisciplinary, project-based learning program that engages students in collaborative problem-solving around real world issues.
Goldin graduated summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi from Princeton University with a bachelor of arts degree in molecular biology. She received a master of science in biotechnology from University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, followed by a master of arts and master of philosophy in genetics and development, both from Columbia University in New York. She received a doctorate in genetics and development, also from Columbia University in 2002.
Goldin was one of the six teachers selected and honored by the Greenwich Distinguished Teachers Awards Committee in spring.
The Superintendent of Schools selects one educator from among the six Distinguished Teachers who will represent Greenwich in the Connecticut Teacher of the Year program.
In spring, then-Superintendent of Schools William McKersie announced Goldin wold be the Greenwich representative for the 2017 Connecticut Teacher of the Year program.
As a semifinalist, Goldin met with members of the selection committee for an interview and to give a brief presentation on a pre-assigned topic. Based on these interviews, the state committee selects the finalists, whose schools are visited at the end of September. The state education commissioner announces the 2017 CT Teacher of the Year during the week of Oct. 10.
The Connecticut Teacher of the Year Program recognizes and honors teacher excellence. It does not attempt to select the "best" teacher; rather, to identify one teacher to serve as a visible and vocal representative of what is best in the profession.
